The Nigerian Oscars Selection Committee has
called for the submission of movies for possible inclusion in the Best
Foreign Language category of the Academy Awards, otherwise known as The
Oscars.
The committee says the opportunity is open to
Nigerian film-makers whose films relate to the country and are
predominantly in a language other than English.
Such films must have been released in Nigeria
between October 2013 and September 2014, and publicly screened at the
cinemas or on television.
The criteria for selection include originality of story as well as good directing, acting, cinematography and sound.
The deadline for submission is Wednesday, July 16, 2014.
This is the first time the Nigerian movie industry has got an invitation to submit since the awards began 86 years ago.
